Troy found himself with a shiny new VSM DR650 and felt a ride was in order. Marty Blake found himself with a Monday off and decided it was a perfect opportunity to show a new bloke around his backyard.

It’s unfortunate I have a track record of hard first rides. I’m not sure if it’s a desire to showcase the very best northern NSW has to offer or a subconscious desire to see people suffer, but the end result is very few people come back for a second ride. As word spreads, few people even want to go riding with me at all.
